Birthday Present Ideas

Apple launched the MacPro today. So I thought I would let all of you start saving now for my birthday. ;)

I took some time to price one the way that I would want it, but not unreasonably going overboard. This is what I came up with.

  • 2 Dual Core 2GHz processors (yes that is 4 total cores… fucking awesome)
  • 1 GB of memory (2 512MB sticks)
  • 1 500 GB drive (it was really tempting to pick more than one :))
  • 2 NVidia GeForce 7300 GT 256MB
  • 2 20″ Apple Cinema Displays (I love dual monitors; also, it was hard to not pick the 30″ displays :))
  • Wireless keyboard and wireless Might Mouse
  • iWorks
  • AppleCare
  • For all the other options, I picked the cheapest. Total price: $4,335.00. So, I am not going to be getting one anytime soon. Maybe one of my loyal readers is really generous. ;)

    What about you, Laurie? :)

    You REALLY should upgrade your RAM, if you’re going to have dual monitors you may as well have 2 Gigs as well.

    I guess you are right, but it is already so expensive. :) I could always get by with only one monitor after all. And it does not really have to be one that is made by Apple…. yeah. I could get the price way down and still be very, very happy.
